Thanks!

Do you have a tutorial on changing a neck line from round to V neck?

You are a very talented teacher. Thank you❣️

Hi Danni, it was fun to hear your location bc I’m in the cities to the north. Thank you for your vids and congrats on your business :). The only additional thing I would do for this adjustment is mark the unpicked sleeve cap where it originally joined the shoulder seam. Then while sewing it into the new armscye I would feel assured I was stretching it appropriately when I reached the shoulder seam. Thanks again!

Many tips to show us top clas tailoring..... Thank u

Super helpful! Thank you 😊

Nice series. Ill try this. Thank you for posting. You make it look easy.

Use a t shirt that fits you as a patten. Your way is makng life more difficult .too much drawing on garment.

2:51 I've been looking for this term for so many years, you don't even know!! Abercrombie & Fitch used to have "muscle" shirts that had small, "capped" sleeves and it would emphasize my deltoid muscles so well. Now I know. Thank you!!

Drove me crazy when you were measuring at the beginning with the shirt on. The t-shirt was not sitting even around your neck.

Thanks for this! And the tool list! I always love finding new notions (new to me)

Love your thread wall! Looks like a work of art. Shoulders are better but now it seems the armpits are too big - is it just more difficult to cut the entire sideseam, remove the whole sleeve, recut armscyes, reattach sleeves, then sew sideseam again (adjusting for taking in at the waist)?

Thank you for this series! So many T-shirt makers only offer “men’s” styles that are not at all flattering on me. I’m going to start making my way through my T-shirt collection to fix them!

Is that a dress with two layers of fabric so you are only sticking the needle through the inner layer of fabric? I’d like to add a hook and eye to the surplice neckline of my dress so my bra doesn’t show and I don’t want the stitches to be very visible since it’s front and center on my chest. I was thinking I’d sew the hardware on the seam of each side to bring them together. Will the thread/stitching be visible or is there a way to hide it?

This is a very informative video….thank you! One question, did you adjust tension, or increase/decrease stitch length on your serger? When I’ve tried this before, on my serger, I’ve had lots of wavy lines.

This was really helpful! Question: when you're pinning the shirt on yourself in order to find out how much you need to take everything in, how do you take the shirt off without either disturbing the pins or poking yourself?

Great❤❤❤

Very good !

I have loved this series. I do have a question. You mention how your chalk wasn't sharp enough. How do you sharpen it? I've never worked with wax taylors chalk. (Quilter here, so I have always used heat eraseable marker)

New subscriber here....this was the first video I have watched and already learned so much. I am 52 and all my life I've had issues with the shoulders to big (except when shoulder pads were in style). I feel confident enough now to tackle my simple shirts. Time to binge watch more of your videos.

What do you do with the tail at the end of the serged seam?

Interesting, i want to do the opposite, lower sleeves on a hoodie thats not oversized enough

I'm so excited to see that you are doing videos again because you are the best!

Very helpful , thank you😊 looks great on you

Could you show us how to make the shoulders wider?

Thanks for sharing. This looks like something I can use.

I'm plus size and every single T-shirt I own is too big in the shoulders! Thanks so much!

I loved this series. It’s exactly what I needed. When I try these fixes, I’ll let you know how it goes.

Best video I've seen on hemming like this! Thanks so much.

Be mindful not to make the armhole larger. Take the fabric out of the shoulder length and not increase the armhole size as you did. Great jos otherwise.

what type of thread are you using for those stitches, as it seems to be a regular strait stitch that is being sewn.

Good stuff. It bothered me that she didn’t straighten the collar first, though 😅

I'm on the high-side of 60 and I''ve been sewing on a an entry-level Singer for almost 15 years doing just basic personal clothing work. I've shortened many pairs of pants along with several pairs of jeans over the years. Always did a simple cut-tuck=and roll on my jeans but, while it worked well enough, I missed the "factory hem" at the bottom. Your video is so well-done that I decided that I'd give your method a try. Watched it a couple of times before jumping in... actually, as you show in your video, it's quite a straight-forward process. Not many more jeans left in my future but I now have a reliable way of getting that factory hem back. Thanks for the great video and the work that I'm sure went into making it. BTW... nice to see someone young using some older equipment.

Oh my gosh! I wish I would have had RUclips with you on it 30 years ago! I’m short and …stout…and I have to alter practically everything I own. I have never been able to successfully do a t-shirt (which I live in for work) so this is so wonderful! I can’t wait to watch the hemming vid. Thank you so much! I’m going to subscribe to your channel so I don’t miss anything! Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you for this lesson. I watched "Gentleman Jim" tailor the shoulders on a suit Jacket, but sometimes got lost between the coat lining and fabric. This simplified thing so nicely.

Hi Danni, how about taking a man’s T-shirt and alter that. I have lots of them that need drastic alterations.

I’m was turning pants inside out to see the hems. Is this wrong way?

Looks great after your alterations! Video is so helpful.

I’m new to sewing so I appreciate this video. But my question is, for just a basic tee shirt, wouldn’t it be easier for you to just sew your own custom tee to save time and money, or no? Seems like a lot of work for a basic tee. It did look better after the adjustment, no question about that?

This is a fantastic video. So informative. You are a wonderful instructor.

Question - do you have to steam/iron these altered t-shirts forever?

Hi from England! This series is fantastic! Everything you show me reminds me of my late mother in law (b. 1914) Lucy, who was a tailoress. I wasn’t sewing when she was alive so your videos are very helpful now! Measure twice, cut once was her motto too! So I can see her at her treadle machine again as you sew. Thank you so much xxxx

1. Probably doesn’t make a difference since the technique is the same, but that green shirt was not that big on you and the length I think was appropriate on your hips. can’t wait to try this. I have so many T-shirts that are probably 2 to 3 inches dropped off of my shoulder. I can’t stand it. 2. For anyone else there are videos out there on how to rip out the seam of an over locker seam (serger) instead of using the razor blade. All you have to do is undo the needle threads then the rest will fall off . But then she did say she was well-versed in using a razor blade box cutter 3. There are faster methods for using the seam ripper. You’re supposed to cut the thread every few inches and then you’re able to just with your fingers pull it out instead of what she’s doing here. There was a video years ago. I think I’ve saved it where this lady showed the technique to just put that seam ripper in making sure that the red ball is facing the correct direction and she just ripped that seam in seconds. However, that was a regular seam not one done by a serger or cover stitch machine 4. She said three thread for the serger, a construction seam is a 4 thread. 5. Not sure why some people say back tack which is incorrect because it’s backstitch. Tacking is the action of doing something in place. 😂

Great tutorial! I have been taking in side seams for years, but it never crossed my mind to alter the arm scythe. Nice!😊

Can you do a video on how to change the neckline of a tshirt? I have a bunch of crew necks that I’d like to convert to v-neck

You do a great job of explaining what to do! Thanks!

Great tutorial! I’ve watched the 4 part series and learned so much!

Yes, thank you, nice detail.
